A win would also give the Padres their longest winning streak since Aug. 19-27 of last season. The Padres longest winning streak was 14 straight games from June 18-July 2, 1999, during an 88-loss season.

The Padres have come from behind to win their last four games and five of the last six during the seven-game winning streak.

The Padres also have two 11-game and two-10-game winning streaks in franchise history. They also have a nine-game winning streak.

Right-hander Andrew Cashner, who drove in the winning run in the top of the 13th Monday night with a bunt single, will start on the mound Tuesday night. Right-hander Matt Cain will start for the Giants.

Although shortstop Everth Cabrera (left hamstring strain) and left fielder Carlos Quentin (left shoulder) were again out of the starting lineup, no decision has been made yet about either going on the 15-day disabled list.

In unrelated news, outfielder Donavan Tate, the third overall pick of the 2009 draft, reported to extended spring training in Arizona Tuesday morning after being away from the club since the start of spring training on a “personal issue.”

“I left baseball in order to gain a grasp on some personal issues in my life that I’ve been dealing with for quite some time,” Tate said in a statement released by the Padres.

“I feel I’ve put those problems behind me, have surrounded myself with positive people in my life and that I’m ready to focus on baseball to accomplish the things I am capable of. I am very thankful to the Padres organization for being supportive throughout this difficult process.”

Cashner at AT&T Park: 0-2 career (5.68 ERA in five games, one start (0-1 this season, 4.50 ERA in one start).

Cashner, 26, is coming off his longest outing as a starter. Last Tuesday night at Petco Park, he held the Braves to two runs on six hits and a walk over eight innings to pick up his fifth win. He has worked six or more innings in each of his last seven starts dating back to May 6. He is 4-1 with a 3.17 ERA over those seven games and the Padres are 6-1. His first two starts of the season were against the Giants.
